Chassis, connectors, screen of the HP 14s-dq2017nf
It has an elegant and discreet look with its thin and light ebony black design.
This versatile Ultrabook that can be recharged to 50% in 45 minutes is well equipped in terms of connectivity with its USB-C, its Wi-Fi ac and Bluetooth 5.02 wireless modules for remote connections and communications, its port audio, its useful HDMI video output to easily connect it to a TV or a monitor for example, or its 2 USB 3.0 (USB 2.0 compatible) guaranteeing transfers made up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0 if USB 3.0 devices are plugged into it.
Lovers of videos and more broadly of High Definition content will be delighted that the screen adopts a 16:9 format coupled with a precise Full HD definition superior to the standard 1366×768. Thanks to its anti-reflective treatment, the screen is also more readable than a shiny panel in a bright environment (eg outside).
Performance, autonomy of the HP 14s-dq2017nf
The HP 14s-dq2017nf is a responsive compact laptop designed for general-purpose on-the-go use.
For everyday use, such as office automation and surfing the Internet, including viewing photos and videos, but also playing light titles, this thin and light laptop is perfectly suited.
This discreet black Ultrabook is indeed built around a low-power Intel Tiger Lake Core i3-1115G4 processor integrating the Intel UHD G4 graphics part and 8 GB of RAM.
Note, however, that the Core i3 reveals its limits under processor-intensive software, such as AMD Ryzen 3 and less powerful processors of course.
On the storage side, there is an SSD which significantly improves responsiveness and fluidity on a daily basis compared to a simple hard drive. Compared to the latter, let us underline the main advantages of an SSD: greater robustness, silent operation, reduced energy consumption or even greater speed.

Concretely, thanks to the SSD, the software is launched more quickly, for example, while the starts / stops are also much faster, and we reach the online game cards faster.
Here we find a 256 GB SSD, a capacity less than half that offered by standard hard drives, enough to accommodate light and / or few files / software. Of course, if you need more space, you can rely on an external storage unit. Opting for a USB 3.0 / USB-C device then represents an interesting solution to benefit from fast transfers.
As for autonomy, bet on about 6 hours on battery in light use for this Ultrabook whose compactness, finesse and lightness facilitate transport.
